Bronze Bretagne triscele pendant – a bronze triscele pendant embossed with symbols from the Gwenn-ha-du. The triscele hangs on an 18″ gold plated trace chain.
 
The triscele is commonly found in early and later Celtic art. Fine examples can be found in Ireland, Great Britain and, especially, Brittany. The triscele is thought to represent the three Celtic realms; spiritual, physical and celestial but is also seen as the past, the present and the future. One of the most popular of Ancient Celtic designs, it survived well into the Christian period, probably because it could also be considered to represent the Holy Trinity.

The Bronze Age in Great Britain and Western Europe began over 4,000 years ago in around 2,000 BC. Both Copper and tin were discovered, mind and fused together to form the alloy bronze, renowned for its strength and longevity. 
A new Bronze Age is appearing from the depths of history; a revival of a bygone culture and a metal that changed lives and brought a sophistication in jewellery that had not existed before. 
Using recycled copper and Cornish tin we have re-created this ancient metal. After casting at over 10000°C into an investment mould we then refine the raw pieces using linishing and fettling techniques. Finally, the refined items are hand-polished and assembled to produce a collection of unique jewellery.
 
As with all St Justin products, this item comes with a lifetime guarantee.
